정말 친절한 시내 중심부라서 좋아요 하지만 시설은 기대이하

늦은 새벽 체크인도 친절하게 잘 도와주었습니다. 하지만 방음이 전혀되지않는 방과 밖에서 안을 볼 수 있었던 창은 치명적이었고 거기에 곰팡이 가득했던 수전은 씻을 엄두를 내지 못하게 했어요

Disappointing experience

The most frustrating and disappointing hotel experience I've had in a while. No hot water - the heater didn't work. Lot of mould in the bathroom. Wifi terribly slow - I switched to mobile data just to be able to access anything. Reception in a different building so few will have appetite to go and complain about anything. Booked the same day and apparently my fault that type of room I booked was not available. They wanted to downgrade me to a windowless room. I refused. So I (1 person) was put into family room with 4 beds. Zero space, almost had to go sideways because the room was completely crammed. The room had a 'window' - on the other side was area where they washed towels and stuff came to eat and drink. So almost constantly someone right behind the window, with zero privacy.

Hotel is very inappropriate especially for family due to hectic surrounding. Parking is not easily accessible. Staff was not informative at all. Never mention about the parking rate/coupon. No lift is available. I was struggling to get to level 4 since the stairs are wooden made, so family with infant, folks and also big luggage would face difficulty to reach to level 4. Travellers with family is absolutely not recommended to stay at this hotel. In conclusion, this is not good at all
